Syfy's Superman Prequel Show Krypton Nears Pilot Order

Syfy is close to securing a deal on a pilot order for David S. Goyer's Superman prequel series, Krypton.

Krypton will center on Superman's grandfather as he fights for the "shamed and ostracized" House of El. According to Variety, the series will be set two generations before Superman's home planet was destroyed.
